Ok I have been holding off posting these shots as they were being voted on in a competition at DPChallenge.com

The photo of the lighthouse from my last post finished first in the B&W challenge last week and the shot of the Opera House in this post came first in the postcard challenge this week, giving me back to back blue ribbons
The monorail picture finish in the top 15% in the perspective challenge while the boat shot didn’t fit any of the challenges so I have entered it in the November free study, I’m not sure how it will go but I like it and the Pump house on the pond has been shoe horned into the Diagonal challenge

I went back to the lighthouse I posted earlier to try for a better shot, I was looking for a cleaner black and white image with good clouds in the sky
so I headed over late Saturday afternoon to get better light than what was available when I took the first shot at midday last week

When I arrived I was greeted by a clear blue sky without any clouds
10 minutes later luck was with me and the clouds started to form and after a further 10 minutes this is the result, 5 minutes later the clouds had merged into a flat boring lifeless blanket (it is all about timing)

playing in both B&W and color
